"Instead of creating mere objects of aesthetic seduction, a new form of art is surfacing that invites audiences to transcend the limits of habitual perception. It seeks to shift the observer's attention from the physical objects that stimulate perception to the act of perception itself. Savvas Ysatis and Taylor Deupree were at it again in Deupree's country studio, about two years after the creation of 2007's The Sleeping Morning CD-EP. They gave themselves one week to see what they could create with the studio as a blank canvas, and the two emerged with Hourglass, four songs of carefully crafted pop-infused ambient music destined for release on 12" vinyl. It is limited to 400 numbered copies and comes packaged in a beautifully printed full color jacket." (label info)
